Randomized Double-Blind Trial on Safety and Efficacy of Nanordica Advanced Antibacterial Wound Dressing for Diabetic Foot Ulcer (NM2023)

September 15, 2026 updated by: Nanordica Medical OU

A Randomized, Double Blind, Active Controlled, Parallel Group Clinical Trial to Assess the Safety and Efficacy of Nanordica Antibacterial Wound Dressing in Patients With DFUs

This clinical trial evaluates the safety and efficacy of the Nanordica Advanced Antibacterial Wound Dressing (AAWD) in patients suffering from diabetic foot ulcers. At least 136 participants will be randomly allocated to be treated either with AAWD or Aquacel Ag+ Extra wound dressing for a 4-week active phase (intervention) followed by an 8-week standard of care period.

Conditions

The disease, disorder, syndrome, illness, or injury that is being studied. On ClinicalTrials.gov, conditions may also include other health-related issues, such as lifespan, quality of life, and health risks.

Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

Enrollment (Estimated)

Enrollment

The number of participants in a clinical study. The "anticipated" enrollment is the target number of participants that the researchers need for the study.
136

Phase

Phase

The stage of a clinical trial studying a drug or biological product, based on definitions developed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The phase is based on the study's objective, the number of participants, and other characteristics. There are five phases: Early Phase 1 (formerly listed as Phase 0), Phase 1, Phase 2, Phase 3, and Phase 4. Not Applicable is used to describe trials without FDA-defined phases, including trials of devices or behavioral interventions.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Ages Eligible for Study

  • Adult
  • Older Adult

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No

  • Patients willing and able to comply with scheduled visits, laboratory sampling and study procedures.
  • Ankle-brachial index (ABI) 0.9-1.4 or ABI between 0.6-0.9 with ankle pressure ≥ 70 mmHg.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Composite Wound Healing Response at 12 weeks
Time Frame: 12 weeks
Composite Wound Healing Response (CWHR) defined as either a wound area reduction (WAR) of more than 50% at 4 weeks relative to baseline (WAR50/4) and/or complete wound closure (CWC) at 12 weeks (CWC/12)
12 weeks

Secondary Outcome Measures

Secondary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, a planned outcome measure that is not as important as the primary outcome measure for evaluating the effect of an intervention but is still of interest. Most clinical studies have more than one secondary outcome measure.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Wound area reduction at 4 weeks
Time Frame: 4 weeks
Wound area reduction at 4 weeks expressed as percent change from baseline measured using the transparent film method
4 weeks

Other Outcome Measures

Other Outcome Measures

For clinical trials, a planned measurement described in the protocol that is used to determine the effect of an intervention/treatment on participants. For observational studies, a measurement or observation that is used to describe patterns of diseases or traits, or associations with exposures, risk factors, or treatment. Types of outcome measures include primary outcome measure and secondary outcome measure.
